For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered.

However, the most commented-on story of the month and the year for us was a 15-story apartment tower rising over College Avenue in Rockridge, Oakland.

SFYIMBY Year in Review: June 2024
For the last twelve days of 2024, SF YIMBY will look back on each month and reflect on the biggest stories we covered. June was a busy month. We documented the construction progress for three starchitect-led projects, including the topping out of an OMA-designed affordable housing complex across from Golden Gate Park, foundation progress for the Herzog & de Meuron-designed UCSF hospital, and an exclusive tour of the Foster + Partners renovations in the Transamerica Pyramid. On top of that, we reported on construction starting for the hotly contested low-income apartments on Irving Street, new details for the Chinatown tower, a 40-story tower across from City Hall, and a 36-acre research campus in Mountain View proposed by NASA and UC Berkeley.
